Great location, right in the centre and a short walk from the station. Lively bar (unbelievable chips), and the rooms are decent, not too noisy, relatively clean and comfortable.

Beds are incredibly short which made it really uncomfy, if youre over 6 foot id avoid this place. Otherwise its ok, decent bar downstairs but not much of a hostel/backpacker atmosphere as its open to the public.

Hostelworld says

St Christopher's at the Winston has been recommended by Hostelworld staff as ideal for "anyone who wants to stay close to the Red Light district and coffee shops". This "very exciting" hostel was voted the most popular in Amsterdam at the 2011 Hoscars, and it's not hard to see why; it includes a bar, beer garden, and smoking area, with discounts on food and drink in the bar downstairs. There are daily walking tours and free earplugs, plus an elevator"an uncommon feature in Amsterdam buildings and useful for carrying heavy luggage.
